Interview with Thomas Dellert of DCE
As DCE has bought the licences for many products of Phase 5,
we have asked Thomas Dellert a couple of questions:
Interview in German
Translator: Martina Jacobs
amiga news:
Many users worry about how and if Phase5 products will still
be available. As to our knowledge DCE allready obtained a number of licences from Phase5
some time ago. How about this in detail?
Thomas Dellert:
DCE owns exclusive rights on the following Phase5 products:
- Blizzard 1240
- Blizzard 1260
- Blizzard 2040
- Blizzard 2060
- Blizzard SCSI IV Kit
- CV 64 3D
- CV PPC
- B-Vision
- Cyberstorm MK III
- Cyberstorm PPC
- Blizzard PPC
Pos. 1-6 are allready availabel again.
Cyberstorm MK III and PPC will be shipping within the 8th week of this year.
Blizzard PPC after about 7 weeks.
BVison and CV PPC about today fortnight.
Distribution will be done by Vesalia Computer.
amiga news:
These are excellent news! Will DCE take over repaire services for those products, too?
Thomas Dellert:
DCE will take over repair services for those products. So, owners of elder boards don't
have to worry about that.
amiga news:
Will the licences and the availability of Phase5 products be impaired or even endangered
by Phase5's application for insolvency?
Thomas Dellert:
We've obtained exclusive rights for these products in April 1999 allready.
We are not paying any licence fee to P5. Rather than this we obtained the licences by a single
payment. There are unobjectionable contracts. The availability of the products is secure.
amiga news:
Will there be further software updates relating phase5 products? Are you allready in contact
about this with Ralph Schmitdt?
Thomas Dellert:
A good and very important question, Petra. Yes, I had a meeting with Ralph Schmidt and Frank
Mariak two days ago. We have come to terms that in the future we will cooperate very close.
There will be a FTP server on oure homepage, where device updates will be found for download.
amiga-news.de:
Are there any plans for new developments based upon Phase5's products?
Thomas Dellert:
For sure existing hardware will be produced at first. There are a lot of preorders. Since Permedia II chips
have been announced by TI, we probable will be able to produce only a number of 1200 BVision or
CV-PPC boards. Hence we are thinking about a Permedia III board for Amiga. This might be mounted
upon the existing BVision or CV-PPC platform. Frank Mariak will develope the software for us.
With the entire amount of technical know-how of Phase5 we now have a powerful package at our disposal.
In any case there will be activities relating PPC. For the time being as a dual CPU resolution only.
amiga-news.de:
In particular: Will there be a Phase5 G4 board from DCE, and will there be pay regard to prepayments
Phase5 allready recieved relating those boards? Or will there be hardware at cheaper prices, similar
to Stefan Ossowski's Schatztruhe offering to all those Euromail harmed people AminetCDs at a price of
DM 5 or bricks?
Thomas Dellert:
Relating that I allready met with Wolf Dietrich. Indeed at this time I cannot tell, if we will
decide for a G4 project.
amiga-news.de:
Do DCE have access to hardware of Phase5' customers, which lies at Phase5's for repair at this time?
Thomas Dellert:
No, we haven't.
amiga-news.de:
Thomas, thank you very much for your informativ answers. We are pacifyed and pleased that production will
contiue, and that customers who have Phase5 products will be able to take up a competent service for
repair at DCE.
DCE

EASys! Homepage now also in English
EASys! - the Amiga OS 3.x Addon System that makes working
with the Amiga even more comfortable was presented as
reported on the HEW'99 with huge success.
Due to the positive response I have now also made an
English version of the homepage "by foot". Thus, the the English
page is meanwhile more up-to-date than the German :) ..
I will update the latter in the next time. A current
info-snap for the product in both languages can be
retrieved via link (about 78 kB). Along with the update
there will be a complete featurelist in English by the
middle of next week. In this way, I wish all "Easyans"
further "happy pottering".

Cable TV Show 2000 in Calcutta, India
From 27 - 29 January, Amiga International, Inc. attended one of the biggest Cable TV Shows in Calcutta,
India. Just like last year, it was another full success. This time, there were four more AMIGA booths
apart from the main one.
Monarch Video and Agani PTY from Mumbai as well as Abishek Enterprise from Calcutta and Rajan Electronics
from Delhi also had booths at this exhibition. There were lots of visitors from neighbouring Bangladesh,
the coming market where the Amiga will gain shares of the cable TV market.
In a TV interview, Petro Tyschtschenko explained why AMIGA is so popular in the Indian market and what
solution it means for the TV market.
Amiga International, Inc. plans to participate in this important event again next year.

S-File 3 for Nightlong
The first alpha version of Nightlong is finished. The full game is working, but there are
optimizations to be done. For example, Nightlong is so big that it is hard to put everything
on the three CDs planned! As soon as all problems are solved, beta tests will start.
Oh, yes, and beta testers to-be have to pre-order Nightlong!

This way, running developments and products, especially the new G4 CPU cards, could be
